Biography
Luis de Sanchez-Regalo was born in Havana, Cuba to a family of Spanish descent. He was made an officer in the Spanish Navy during the War of the Quadruple Alliance (1717-1720), in which Spain was defeated by an alliance of Great Britain, France, and Austria.

Sanchez-Regalo was made the captain of the schooner "Santa Gertrudis" shortly after, sailing through the waters around Havana and the coast of Cuba to guard merchant shipping in the area. In October 1722, his ship was attacked by pirate Edward Kenway and brig "Jackdaw", and Sanchez-Regalo was pushed over the side of the ship after fighting with Kenway near the wheel. Sanchez-Regalo drowned, and the pirates took over his ship and used it to repair "Jackdaw".
